From That’s Nerdalicious!:The Canon camera lens thermos was only available for a short time, but Nikon has jumped in there to fill the void. Their awesome camera lens thermos is now available for purchase (assuming you can get on the overloaded product page that is).

From That’s Nerdalicious!: Israeli design student Schmuel Linkski created this concept Lavazza espresso machine which is encased in concrete and would look perfectly natural sitting in a mechanic’s shop covered with enough oil to lubricate a Peterbilt.

“I had a vision. Concrete in the kitchen, not only as a wall or decorative part, I wanted it to be a desirable consumer product.”

Mission accomplished. now it just needs to be available for purchase at your local NAPA.

However, I do have some details on the taste of the unconditioned beer. Before bottling and just prior to the coffee addition, I gave the beer a taste test to determine how well the bacon flavor came along after the “hopping” period.

Of course, I will probably need quite a bit more bacon than I put in the hop bag to get the flavor that I want. Though I cooked the bacon down as much as possible without burning, I’m still a bit paranoid about fat leeching into the beer. So I’m starting with a relatively small amount of bacon just to get a baseline, then I’ll likely ramp it up over the next couple of days depending on how it goes.
